Discover graphic design through creative, practical and personalised lessons with a visual artist holding an MA in Visual Communication from the University of the Arts London. With over 20 years of experience in visual arts and creative projects, I combine artistic thinking with hands-on design skills. You'll explore Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, typography, colour, composition, image editing and digital design through real-world projects. Whether you're a beginner, developing your portfolio or refining your skills, I'll tailor lessons to your goals and interests. My teaching style is friendly, imaginative and encouraging, helping you build technical confidence, creative independence and your own visual style.

Are you ready to turn your book idea or raw manuscript into a stunning, professionally designed book ready for print? Whether you are starting completely from scratch or looking to polish and fix an existing file, this class gives you the practical skills and guidance to create industry standard publications. In our lessons, we focus primarily on Adobe InDesign, the premier professional tool for interior layout and book production. You will learn: • Master pages, margins, grids, and professional document setup • Advanced typesetting, paragraph and character styles, and typographic hierarchy • Handling complex layouts, image placement, tables, and book organization • Integrating Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator seamlessly for covers, figures, and spot graphics • Troubleshooting common layout mistakes, reflowing text, and cleaning up legacy files In addition to design mechanics, I guide you through the technical self publishing process. We will cover preparing pre press, print ready PDF files specifically formatted for Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, or independent commercial offset printers. We will address bleed, color spaces (CMYK vs RGB), spine width calculations, and barcode placement so your book prints cleanly without rejection. Every session is personalized to your individual project, whether you are publishing fiction, non fiction, photography monographs, poetry, or children's books. Beginners learning InDesign for the first time and experienced creators looking for advanced book techniques are both welcome.

Learn to use Canva from scratch, practically and at your own pace. I'm a psychologist and teacher, and I use Canva daily to create presentations, guides, training materials, and social media content with a strong visual identity. In classes you will learn to: • Navigating Canva: templates, elements, texts, photos, and colors. • Create engaging presentations for school, university, or work. • Design school projects, infographics, concept maps, and covers. • Create posts, stories, and short videos for social media. • Create a simple visual identity (colors, fonts and logo) for your project or business. • Download, share, and present your designs. For whom: children from 9 years old (accompanied by an adult if they prefer), teenagers, university students, teachers and entrepreneurs. How the classes are: We work on a real project of yours from the very first session (a presentation, a paper, or your brand), so you leave each class with something finished. Classes are held via video call (Zoom or Google Meet) with screen sharing.
